Add the Golden State Warriors to the growing list of teams willing to revamp their entire roster for the chance to land LeBron James in summer free agency.
ESPN's Mark Stein tweeted on Thursday "besides desire for an elite stretch four, Warriors think they'll get LeBron's attention with Steph & KLOVE."

Of course there's the matter of Golden State first being able to land Kevin Love from Minnesota. Love has made no secret of his desire to bolt the Wolves, and the Warriors, rumored to be offering a package highlighted by Klay Thompson, are considered to be one of the frontrunners to acquire him.
After four seasons and two titles, James announced this week he would be opting out of the final two years of his deal in Miami, where he historically formed the Big 3 with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
Cleveland, Houston, Dallas and the L.A. Clippers have already indicated they plan to go all in trying to land the four-time league MVP, who is also slated to soon meet with Heat president Pat Riley about the team's hope he will ultimately elect to return to South Beach.
After parting ways with coach Mark Jackson at the end of the season and hiring Steve Kerr, the Warriors appear desperate to make a splash this offseason--- and perhaps mend some fences.
The Warriors fired Jackson despite the team winning 50-games this season and the motivational coach leading the team to back-to-back playoff berths for the first time in nearly two decades, angering star guard Curry.
Landing LeBron and Love would go a long way in making up for it all.
